Kenneth Conklin wrote a book on the history of Norvel Lee, which is based on true events about the Olympic Gold Metal boxer. It is for sale for $16.99 in the Botetourt County Historical Society Museum. The BCHS Museum raised money for an historical marker to be placed in Gala recognizing his important contributions to society.
